Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology used to
identify, track and manage assets, inventory, equipment, people,
etc. RFID allows real-time tracking while a shipment is in
transit and visibility on all the details of a given delivery
without physically checking it. Additionally, RFID offers
advantages over manual systems or use of barcodes enhanci ng
inventory control. When integrated with security scanners it
also provides security services for the logistics in inventory
during storage or movement.
Cloud Computing:
Allows all relevant information regarding a logistics network
including inventory levels, resource availability, equipment and
utilization patterns etc. to be stored and accessible through a
web. It facilitates the non-requirement of storing data physically
on server and hard drives, saving on cost, resources and
manpower.
It gives companies competitive advantage by availing high-
capacity networks, low-cost computers and storage devices as
well as the widespread adoption of automation and service-
oriented platform. In addition, companies save on operating
expenses due to a "pay-as-you-go" system, avoiding unexpected
cost if administrators are not familiarized with cloud-pricing
models.
Internet-of-Things:
With electronics and internet connectivity, every day physical
devices becomes an extension of the interne called the Internet-
of-Things (IoT) allowing devices to interact and communicate
over the internet and can be monitored and controlled remotely.
A versatile technology that are now used in various industries
and various tasks to include location management, inventory
management where optimization of goods can be achieved and
predictive analytics through improving decision making
All mentioned technologies can definitely provide an advantage
to any organization. Currently, inventories of parts, materials,
tools and subsistence food items in my division is counted
manually. Mandated spot checks and full inventories are done
based on standard operating procedures. Having RFID
technology will increase efficiency and accuracy in our in-
house inventory control and aid in minimizing loses due to
abuse and negligence.
